Check writing and depositing
Claire will keep collecting bulk room money and keeping records of everyone’s deposits. It’s necessary to have a back-up person to help write checks and make deposits. Currently Lara is doing this. Claire has spoken to Jonny and Thiago to see if they are interested in this position. Please contact Claire if you are interested in this position. What is the name of the credit union we deposit checks at? If it’s nearby Carol or Peter can help with deposits.
Coop paying rent to USTU.
A possible suggestion might be the bulk room can be a potential Emergency Food to USTU if a major disaster occurs. More community discussion needed.
Egg orders
Carol may be able to pick up eggs from North Hollywood Farmers Market. Kris may be able to pick up eggs from Hollywood Farmers Market. Peter will check with Zoe about details/process on ordering eggs. Autumn can help out with egg order pick-ups.
Room clean-up- recommendations
• Monday bulk-room shift can clean up hall-way by sweeping and putting any left over boxes away.
• More care when sorting veggies
• Call out to members for CLEAN plastic bags or netted orange or potato sacks (photo attached to email)
• Residents please put any boxes away whenever possible.
Data Entry position
